This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy before or after radiation therapy works better for people with locally advanced rectal cancer that has a high risk of coming back. Participants receive the same drugs (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) but in a different order. The goal is…

This study looks at a special ultrasound technique to check lymph nodes during surgery in breast cancer patients who have already had chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this method can accurately tell whether cancer remains in the lymph nodes, helping doctors decide exactly whic…

This study tests a non-hormonal laser treatment for genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) in women who have completed cancer treatment. GSM causes symptoms like vaginal dryness and pain, which can affect quality of life. The study will compare the laser therapy to a control g…

This study tested whether custom 3D printed applicators could improve radiation delivery in brachytherapy for gynecological cancers. Thirteen patients with cervical, uterine, vaginal, or vulvar cancer received MRI-guided treatment using these personalized tools. The goal was to s…

This study looks at how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is in people with gastrointestinal cancer. Researchers will use a short questionnaire to screen patients before and during treatment. Those flagged as at risk will get extra nutritional support. The goal is to see if early d…

This study is looking at whether a blood test that detects circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can help predict if melanoma will come back or spread. Researchers are following 176 adult melanoma patients and comparing ctDNA levels with standard clinical and lab results. The goal is to …

This study follows 250 men with prostate cancer who are receiving radiotherapy. Researchers want to see if a person's 'sense of coherence' — their ability to cope with stress — is linked to their quality of life and how they rate their own health. Participants fill out questionna…

This study examines stored tumor tissue and blood samples from 22 women with early breast cancer to find genetic or chemical markers that might predict whether the cancer will spread to the brain. Researchers will compare women whose cancer did spread to the brain with those whos…

This study looks at whether the bacteria in your gut can help predict how well immunotherapy works for advanced melanoma. Researchers collected stool and blood samples from 150 patients before and during treatment. The goal is to find links between gut microbiome patterns and tre…

This study is collecting tumor and blood samples from 268 women with early breast cancer before they receive standard chemotherapy. Researchers want to see if certain immune-related factors in the tumor and circulating tumor DNA can predict whether the cancer will completely disa…

This study looks at how electrochemotherapy—using electric pulses to help chemotherapy enter tumor cells—changes the immune environment of melanoma skin tumors. Researchers want to see if it can turn 'cold' tumors (which don't respond well to immunotherapy) into 'hot' ones. Ten a…

This study looks at whether genetic markers (like tumor mutations and DNA in the blood) and special MRI scans can predict how well chemoradiotherapy works for patients with HPV-negative oropharyngeal cancer. Researchers will follow 30 patients to see if these tests can forecast t…
